coat every year. A hedge will effectively screen out undesirable views or shut out trespassers. Plant a hedge where you need 
a fence. Listed below you will find hedge plants suited for all purposes and locations. Our plants are grown in the open nursery 
rows where they have been given ample room for both root and top development.

Buckthorn Hedge 
PLANTING THE HEDGE 
We recommend planting Cotoneaster and Buckthorn 8 inches apart in a 
single row. If a very wide hedge is desired, plant in two rows, each row 8 
inches apart and the plants one foot apart in each row, staggered. 
The remainder of the plants listed on this page should be planted one 
foot apart in a single row. 
Do not fail to trim every plant immediately after planting to at least 
one-half its original size. Leaving only the lower one-fourth would be still 
better. The secret of securing a dense hedge is to cause the plants to 
branch out near the ground by trimming as advised above. 
HEDGE PLANTING CHARGES 
A planting charge of thirty cents per lineal foot is charged for planting 
all varieties and sizes of hedge plants.
